| ×Tips On Judging Dairy Cattle× When jugding any judging class you need to be able to picture the "ideal" in your mind so that you can make your placings around what the breed/type is needed for. Some things to look for in a dairy cow/heifer are: General Appearnce: -Top tine should be straight from shoulders to tail, the lion broad & strong, the rump long & level -The pin bones should be wide apart & level to slightly than hips - The rump is VERY important because it is the framework which holds the udder! Dairy Character: -Implies ability to produce large quantities of milk -Withers should be prominent -Ribs should be long, flat & open (open-ribbed means ribs are wide-apart) -On a good dairy cow you should be able to fit 3 fingers between the last 2 ribs! |
